*been their done that* Why wouldnt people hack. Hell I do it for a fee. Nothing like getting the best out of whatever shitty was givin to you. I mean for example I hacked Windows XP for the first time. Because it was so shitty to begin with. Upgraded my video games. Hell I changed 1 of my school grades to an A. Even though I was almost caught (good times). So hackings not that big a deal. Just give me a program and I`ll do it. And people wonder why Identity theft occurs on the internet

Some will do it cause they'll think it makes them cool and/or they're bored. Others actually do get employed in order to test the security of a company's system, espionage, and other functions.

Some even do it to see if they can, to test their own skills and to learn new ones. Admittedly, the hacking that everyone hears about is malicious attempts to damage people's systems or lives but there are times where its just the hacker going 'I wonder if I can...' or 'What if someone did this?'.

@Nike13 wtf are you talking about. Hacking doesn't make you look cool at all., It makes you look like god. Nothing like modifying a central processor and revamping a video card. Along with reconstructing a systems core main frame. *grabs a cup of jo tsp* makes me warm in side. Especially when I make a virus that can corrode all of your video files. So you may bytch about how you can no longer watch anime
